Clean Products at Petco

When you see the Clean Ingredients badge at our grooming salons or on our grooming shelves it means the service or product does not contain parabens, phthalates and chemical dyes. Currently our Clean badge is only given to some of our grooming salon offerings and grooming products like certain shampoos, conditioners, and balms.

Clean Grooming at Petco is a way for pet parents to clearly navigate the options that are available for grooming services and products you select for your pet. You'll be able to easily identify grooming services and products without parabens, phthalates and chemical dyes.

We've reviewed the ingredients in our grooming products and chosen products without parabens, phthalates and chemical dyes in their formulations to offer you and your pet services and products you can feel good about.

Parabens are a commonly used preservative in shampoos, lotions, and other cosmetics that extend the shelf life of products.

Commonly used parabens in personal care products include:

• Methylparaben
• Ethylparaben
• Propylparaben
• Butylparaben
• Isopropylparaben
• Isobutylparaben
• Benzylparaben

Phthalates are used to soften plastics and dissolve other chemicals. They're an unnecessary fragrance stabilizing ingredient and are not used in our formulas.

Chemical dyes, also known as synthetic dyes, are substances made primarily from petrochemical raw materials like benzene or naphthalene, which produce color by absorbing certain wavelengths of visible light. They're often used without benefit in place of natural dyes commonly derived from botanical or mineral sources.

Every grooming service, brand and product that has the Clean Ingredients badge has been certified by the manufacturer to be made without the parabens, phthalates and chemical dyes.
